About the Item

A striking and sculptural architects Studio BBPR lounge chair, exemplifying the studio’s rationalist yet expressive approach to furniture and spatial design. Constructed in solid wood with a white painted finish, the chair features a distinctive slatted seat and backrest forming a continuous inclined plane, supported by angular, intersecting legs that emphasize structural clarity and visual rhythm. The design reflects BBPR’s architectural language translated into furniture: rigorous geometry, exposed construction, and an almost brutalist sense of mass balanced by refined proportions. The stepped slats not only provide ergonomic comfort but also create a strong graphic presence, making the piece as much a functional object as a sculptural statement. A rare and highly collectible example of Italian architectural furniture, ideal for collectors of BBPR, post-war Italian modernism, or museum-level interior design pieces.
